Michael B. Jordan Brought a Special Date to the Critics Choice Awards After Revealing His Relationship Status
Michael B. Jordan isn’t at the Critics Choice Awards alone.
The 38-year-old actor took his mom to January 4 award show, where he is nominated in the Best Actor in a Motion Picture category for his role in Sinners.
“If you don’t pass the mom test it kinda stops right there,” he said of getting his mom’s approval in his dating life while appearing on E! Live from the Red Carpet.
As for that dating life, Jordan confirmed earlier in 2025 that he is single, telling with GQ, “My career is awesome. It is going great. There’s other places in my life that I’m fucking lacking at. I’m very mature and advanced in a lot of areas of life. Dating may not be one of ’em. My personal life is not. I don’t really know what dating is.”
The actor, whose last public relationship was with Lori Harvey from 2020 until 2022, continued: “I’m not tripping over it…I’m so work focused.”
“I would want somebody to fit into the flow of my life, of where I am. And that’s timing, right? You can meet the right person, and be at the wrong time, and it just doesn’t work out.”
Jordan did say that public scrutiny on his relationships does take a toll. “They’re gonna find out what your Instagram is, they’re going to find us in that,” he said. “And all the fan club and everybody else is going to find out who you are, and now you and I are forever associated with one another. So now, how do you go anywhere normal, chill, just getting to know somebody that you just met, that you may not—may or may not—hit it off at all? That part of dating is tough.”
